Microevolution Concept Map Explained
A microevolution concept map shows how allele frequencies change within a population over generations. Microevolution is the small-scale change in gene frequencies that can lead to new traits in a population. The topic divides into four main mechanisms, plus the sources of genetic variation that feed them.
- Mutation: the original source of new alleles in a gene pool
- Natural selection: differential survival and reproduction based on heritable traits
- Genetic drift: random changes in allele frequency, strongest in small populations
- Gene flow: movement of alleles between populations through migration
Use the map to revise each mechanism and how it changes allele frequencies. CogniGuide can build a personalized map from your own notes, so your study guide matches your course.
Microevolution Concept Map FAQ
Common questions about microevolution and making your own map.
What is the difference between microevolution and macroevolution?
Microevolution is change in allele frequencies within a population over a few generations. Macroevolution refers to larger patterns, such as the origin of new species and major groups over long periods.
Which mechanism is strongest in small populations?
Genetic drift has the greatest effect in small populations, because random sampling of alleles can change frequencies sharply from one generation to the next, even without selection.
Which files can I use to make my own microevolution map?
Upload a PDF, Word (DOCX) or PowerPoint (PPTX) file, a text or Markdown file, or an image of your notes. You can also type the topic directly.
Can I turn my microevolution map into a quiz?
Yes. Once the map is built, you can turn it into a quiz to test yourself on mutation, selection, drift and gene flow. The free plan includes 5 creations a week.
